Il hate women customers, replied sales
woman in "a dry goods store. She had been
asked plumply whether she preferred waiting
on men, and this was her plump answer
Why do you prefer men!-
Because they know what they want, and
do not care to keep you standing an hour
while they tumble over and rumple up the
goods on the counter. Why, only to-day l
was showing lady black stockings. OF
course they were all the same size and quail
ity, yet she dragged every pair out of that
box and then wanted to see more 1 handed
down two more boxes just like this one, and
then she asked if we had any more. l told
her no, and then she said l might wrap up
one pair for her. The lady next me made
nine different sales to gentlemen while was

Too Clean for Comfort.

An old lady of my acquaintance was a
great woman to scrub and scour and brush
and polish AMI clean from morning until
night When asked why she went to such
extremes in these directions she always said:
Because | like To have things half decent"
L think that too many housewives have this
same idea of "decency." 1 would hate to lie
the husband of a woman who was thus de
cent" at the expense of the happiness and
comfort of the whole household Men hate
cleaning days when they come but once a
week, and when every day and every hour is
given up to spirited warfare against possible
specks of dirt, men are not apt to find home
the sweetest spot ON earth. This isnot written
in vindication of the great army of the
clean, and they needn't think it is. l hate
dirt, and don't believe it possible for people
to reach that higher life we all should aspire
to when surrounded by the dirt and disorder
of many homes.
But let us have moderation in this cleaning
business. A man don't want to see his wife
everlastingly flying around in busting cap
and long sleeved apron dabbing at stray flies
and trying to espy ininitesimal specks of
dust.-Zenas Dane in Detroit Free Press.

Foul Air and Musty Rooms.

In many rooms there is always a misty
smell on a wet day i'll summer. Why is
this. Because the windows are shut to keep
out the rain, while the fireplace is shut To
keep out the SCOT. 1t Is almost a note of a
good housemaid to close the valve of the
stove soon the fires are left off; and if
this remains closed, the ventilation of the
room throughout the summer is left to- de
pend on the windows alone. In other words.

ParIors that Crush Out Home Life.

Did you ever hear of tyrannical parlors.
The costly carpets and curtains, the extensive
ornaments give a subdued tone to the room
destructive to real hospitality and good
times A neighborhood social met from
house to house. One of the members was
bright boy; his mother had one of these
tyrannical parlors, given up to formality and
short calls The bright boy said at one OF
the meetings: Il would like To invite you to
my house, but we never have good times in
our stuck up drawing room" The little
fellow felt the difference between his own
home surroundings and that of some others
of the social club.
At one house the wise parents made the
parlor 80 attractive that the boys and girls
of the family said they would rather be ut
home than anywhere else" The carpet was
not too nice to dance ON OF even To play blind
mans bluff. The chairs and tables were not
heavy and cumbersome, but were light
enough to Ire tucked away, leaving a clear
space. The children were encouraged to get
up charades and tableaux. A magic lantern
exhibition added variety, and now and then
a card party But that was very wrong,
says one stern parent. No! Father and
mother took hand in the game and there
was not much danger the children would
seek questionable pleasures in Improbable
places. Chicago Tribune.

fire and let it set firm in the cup in which it

hands on retiring, and wear a pair of soft
kid gloves. In the morning wash them with
oatmeal or almond powder, not soap, and you
will soon see a manifest improvement in color

A cellar was never designed to be the re-
ceptacle of all manner of rubbish, yet to this
use il is often put. Rubbish in the cellar is
death dealing. 1t poisons the air, which finds
its way into the rooms above, and it poisons
the food stored in the cellar. Warm pastry,
milk and butter absorb noxiOus exhalations
very readily, and taste disagreeably. Pru-
dence dictates a close inspection OF every part
of the cellar every few days, and the removal
of all decaying fruits and vegetables. Re
moving these fruits and vegetables will pay
in another way-the heightened preservation
of the others OF all places, the cellar should
be clean and sweet. Better have uncleanli-
ness in the parlor THAI in the kitchen, and
better have uncleanliness in the kitchen than
i'll the cellar. Let cleanliness prevail.-Ameri-

A Convenience for the Kitchen.

and filed with bits of clean cloths, will often
be found convenience. When one wants

cloth. Lift re spots upon floor or table that

very few sang as well after marrying as
before Gerster has had IA baby, and is now
reported To have lost her voice. Sembrich

case may not be DISASTROUS, but it will be de-
terioruting. Patti made her fame before she
was married She is one of the few great
singers who has preserved the freshness of
her voice after a matrimonial adventure.
Parepa Rosa made her name and fortune
before She married her little manager. The
same is true of Nilsson. Neither had chill

married and had babies. Clara Louise Kel-
logg. knowing the risk, concluded not to
marry Nevada, everybody knows, has a
baby. The result ON her vocal cho has not

unnecessary. When II woman gets married
and has baby some of her vocal talent is
sacrificed to the youngster. This is one of
the mean things in creation, for while the

cents to hear the baby.-Chicago Mail.

From the time child is old enough to sit

knife, fork and spoon. Never allow a child

elders are served. 1t is very important to
carefully observe these minor points. By
proper training in the beginning parents are
